Adjustable mounting bracket apparatus and method

Abstract

An adjustable mounting bracket comprising a body portion adapted to be one or both of connected to or disposed on a support structure and an interchangeable and/or replaceable attachment, adapted to be one or both of connected to or disposed on the body portion.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An adjustable mounting bracket comprising:
 a body portion having a front side, a back side, and at least one mounting hole defined therein, the body portion being adapted to be connected or disposed on a support structure via the at least one mounting hole; 
 an attachment element which is one or more of adjustable, removable, interchangeable, and replaceable relative to the body portion; 
 the body portion having a projecting member connected thereto and projecting therefrom, the projecting member being adapted to receive and support the attachment element at an adjustable cant relative to the body portion; 
 the attachment element being one or more of adjustable, removable, interchangeable, and replaceable relative to the body portion and projecting member, in that the projecting member is defined as having two or more adjustment holes and the attachment element is defined as having one or more receiving holes configured to be corresponding in an operable relationship to a selected one adjustment hole of the two or more adjustment holes of the projecting member to provide the adjustable cant, and 
 said projecting member thereby being configured to support the attachment element via an insertion member providing cooperative connectability of a receiving hole of the one or more receiving holes and an adjustment hole to secure the attachment element to the projecting member at a cant relative to the body portion. 
 
     
     
       2. The apparatus of  claim 1 , the attachment element being selected from a group comprising a cupholder, a portable device or mobile device attachment apparatus, a pole holder, a hook, a light, an electronic digital display, an illuminated digital advertising device, an illuminated or non-illuminated static advertising device and a tray. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of  claim 1 , the support structure one or more of a seatback, seat stanchion, armrest, a seat support, and a freestanding structure. 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an advertising device adapted to be one or both of removably connected to or disposed on the attachment element. 
     
     
       5. The apparatus of  claim 4 , the advertising device further having one or both of an appurtenant panel and an emblem member. 
     
     
       6. The apparatus of  claim 4 , the advertisement device being readily adapted for display of advertising material including one or more of printed material, reverse printed material, or material imaged on the back side of clear advertising device, adhesive material, stickers, an electronic or electromagnetic presentation, an LED, LCD or plasma presentation, e-paper display, an electronic digital display, or removal material or materially integrally formed thereon, or as a part thereof. 
     
     
       7. The apparatus of  claim 1 , the body portion being flat or angled. 
     
     
       8. The apparatus of  claim 7 , the body portion further comprising a technology storage cavity. 
     
     
       9. The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising resiliently deformable securing tabs that project one or both horizontally or vertically from the mounting bracket and further secure the attachment element to the body portion. 
     
     
       10. The apparatus of  claim 1 , the body portion and the attachment element being each made of one or the other of a moldable material and a die-cut material. 
     
     
       11. An adjustable mounting bracket comprising:
 a body portion having a front side, a back side, and at least one mounting hole defined therein, the body portion being adapted to be connected or disposed on a support structure via the at least one mounting hole; 
 an attachment element which is one or more of adjustable, removable, interchangeable, and replaceable relative to the body portion; 
 the attachment element having one or more projecting members connected thereto and projecting therefrom, the projecting member being adapted to connect to and receive support from the body portion, the projecting member having two or more adjustment holes and the body portion having one or more receiving holes configured to be corresponding to one of the two or more adjustment holes of the projecting member, and 
 said projecting member thereby being configured to provide support to the attachment element via an insertion member providing cooperative connectability of the adjustment holes of the projecting member of the attachment element with a receiving hole of the body portion to secure the attachment at a cant relative to the body portion. 
 
     
     
       12. The apparatus of  claim 11 , the attachment member being selected from a group comprising a cupholder, a portable device or mobile device attachment apparatus, a pole holder, a hook, a light, an electronic digital display, an illuminated digital advertising device, an illuminated or non-illuminated static advertising device and a tray. 
     
     
       13. The apparatus of  claim 11 , the support structure being one or more of a seatback, seat stanchion, armrest, a seat support, and a freestanding structure. 
     
     
       14. The apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising an advertising device adapted to be one or both of removably connected to or disposed on the attachment element. 
     
     
       15. The apparatus of  claim 14 , the advertising device including one or both of an appurtenant panel and an emblem member. 
     
     
       16. The apparatus of  claim 14 , the advertisement device being readily adapted for display of advertising material including one or more of printed material, reverse printed material, or material imaged on the back side of clear advertising device, adhesive material, stickers, an electronic or electromagnetic presentation, an LED, LCD or plasma presentation, e-paper display, an electronic digital display, or removal material or materially integrally formed thereon, or as a part thereof. 
     
     
       17. The apparatus of  claim 11 , the back side of the body portion being flat or angled. 
     
     
       18. The apparatus of  claim 17 , the body portion further comprising a technology storage cavity. 
     
     
       19. The apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising resiliently deformable securing tabs that project one or both horizontally or vertically from the mounting bracket and further secure the attachment to the body portion. 
     
     
       20. The apparatus of  claim 11 , the body portion and the attachment each being made of one or the other of a moldable material and a die-cut material.
